AURELIJA KARALIUNAITE
Possession

The first cities started to grow a few thousand years ago. It seems as a long period compared to the lifespan of a human being. Yet it is only a mere blink of an eye in contrast to the time needed for an organism to adapt to its surroundings. Rapidly advancing habitats, social relations and evolving tools are challenging humans in the ability to accommodate the change. And still, the human eye is adapted to see mostly green color tones. “The Incarnations” is a series of atmospheric portraits trying to depict the ongoing change of one’s personal projections and the ease which is felt when we remember the sometimes forgotten part of ourselves.

Later, she lived in Edinburgh, where Aurelija continued to form her photography style alongside studying neuroscience. She has travelled in Africa, Asia and Europe exploring new cultures and looking for unique shots.
